Meeting Kiwi Olympians, school reunion notices, friends who leave you in the lurch, live radio mischief, international DJ's that disappoint and we're officially out of winter Above are just a few things that cropped up and shaped my last 7 days.

Write “Easy Tiger” as the heading for an email and send it to me if you’d like to prowl along. This prize will run until the week before the last Friday of each month.     Wednesday September 3rd Traffic Light Party Komodo, 106b Parnell Rd, Parnell Entry $10 on the door. 8pm – 3am A fine venue that's been off most peoples radar of late. Time to check it out. You get a wrist-band at the door that labels you as Taken, Maybe or Let's Go! It's a student style night, but us older ones can have an equally fine time. Wicked party tunes provided by multi-genre DJ Justin Sane and Jacey. And/Or Group Therapy The Pony Club, 55 Customs St, Auckland Central Entry $10 (or rsvp to robert@sublimenz.co.nz to get on the list). 9pm - 6am Rob always puts a lot of sweat and effort into his parties, this one should be fun. I mean what else have you got to do on a Wednesday night? Fine DJ's, ladies and giveaways.     Thursday September 4th Goodbye Poe: Dance Party The Old Poenamo Hotel, 31 Northcote Rd, Takapuna No Charge. 9pm - 3am The famous Poe is closing to be re-opened as The Back Yard on December 1st.

Supergroove, Scribe & Hollie Smith The Civic Theatre, Cnr Queen & Wellesley Sts, Auckland Central Tickets $55 - $75 from www.the-edge.co.nz. 7.30 - 11pm I can't get enough of these 3 artists, or this venue for that matter. Super talented kiwi musicians that are all very different. Rock, Rap and Easy listening. And/Or Beauty & The Beats Bungalow8, Cnr Market & Customs St W, Auckland Central Entry $10 on the door. 9pm - 5am Bevan Keyes starts of at 9 for 2 hours, so if he's your man you may want to just head straight there after work drinks. 5 reliably rocking fellows follow. Always good times had here.     Saturday September 6th The Fujifilm Whips'n'Spurs Annual Spring Party Level 3, Ellerslie Stand, Ellerslie Racecourse, 80 - 100 Ascot Ave (off Greenlane East), Ellerslie Tickets $75 from www.whipsnspurs.co.nz. 11.30am - 8pm If you like all the fun of the races it's here, but more. I find you get so caught up with what's going on inside that you forget to watch the racing outside. Perfect for schmoozing and mingling on all levels. Complimentary food all day, a drink on arrival, continuous entertainment and a free bus back to SkyCity to party on afterwards. And/Or Our House: Extravaganza Auckland Town Hall, Queen St, Auckland Central Tickets $85 from www.the-edge.co.nz. 9pm - 6am It's an expensive party, but their last one was worth it, and sold out. Awesome venue and having Hed Kandi's Jack McCord, MOS's John Course and Shapeshifter, along with all the usual NZ talent performing. This will sell-out. And/Or James Bond Bash Denim Bar, 207 Parnell Rd, Parnell No Charge. 9pm - 3am. RSVP to denimbar@orcon.net.nz for entry to VIP pre-party with comp. drinks & food. Great bonding times from 9pm and DJ Ned Roy from 10 (ensure you see him scratch - Wow). Come in theme ladies and gents for extra rewards.

If you own an Aston Martin and park it outside you get a kiss from all the ladies.     Sunday September 7th (Father's Day) Family Bar's 3rd Birthday Family Bar, 270 K' Rd, Newton No Charge. 7pm - Late A massive weekend-long birthday party that climaxes on Sunday with a non-stop, free evening of explosive entertainment, starring all your favourite Family drag divas, DJs and performers.     Monday September 8th Date Night: Dinner and Movies Any restaurant & Most Theatres Various Take your special someone, or a person you just like, out for a casual chilled dinner followed by a movie. I recommend you go see "Taken". Liam Neeson's daughter gets kidnapped in Paris. He goes nato tracking her down. Basic plots quite predictable, but the rest of it's flaming superb.     Tuesday September 9th Interactive Quiz Traffic Bar, 2 Queen St, Auckland Central No Charge. 6.30 - 9pm A lot of bars do this quiz but this one gives you stunningly tasty free pizza. Get a few friends together, don't worry about the parking hassles (there aren't any it's Tuesday) and come along for some braintastic fun.     Wednesday September 10th Retro Night The Grange, 106 Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby No Charge. 9pm - 1am.
